the artemis spacesuit By 2024, NASA’s team plans to send the first American women and American men to the moon’s surface. Equipped with the many enhanced features of the Artemis space suit, astronauts will be able to move freely with great mobility to work and collect samples from the moon’s surface. Engineers are hopeful that this design will uphold lunar weather, eventually, to be used on Mars.

gloves

The infamous moon landing with Neil Armstrong and other astronauts displayed how these men bunnyhopped to get around. However, the new suit lets them walk on the moon. Additionally, the spacesuit has evolved to let the user use their fingers to pick up lunar substances like rocks and minerals. The gloves will also have heaters for fingers while maintaining efficiency to conduct experiments.

The backpack, called the Portable Life Support System, accompanies the suit to be able to absorb carbon dioxide from space and transform it into life support for about six days before it inevitably cannot keep working. The pack allows astronauts to have breathable oxygen, and removes any other waste gases like CO2, odors, and moisture, essentially keeping a steady temperature inside the suit. It also warns if the system is failing or is on the brink of failing to work.

pressure garment

The pressure garment inside the suit allows for the moonwalker to freely. In addition, it protects them from space’s extreme temperatures of minus 250 degrees to 250 degrees. The suit is designed to withstand these extreme temperatures. The pressure garment contains four parts; the helmet, the upper torso, lower torso and cooling garment. In particular, due to new bearing placements in the suit, the upper torso allows the astronaut to lift anything above their heads therefore increasing their mobility. Through many missions to lunar surfaces,
